For over a decade, the Giro Advantage 2 has proven to be the pinnacle of aerodynamic performance, with a rich history of wins at the pro level. Giro relies on wind tunnel data to improve even the smallest of details to shave seconds off your times. Though the smooth, teardrop design of the helmet...

In the never-ending quest for helmet lightness, one fact makes us rest easy: Even the most feathery helmets must pass the CPSC safety standard for impact resistance. If, for example, you've ever picked up a Giro Prolight or Aeon helmets, you know why this is a concern. It seems impossible that a...

The Giro Aeon Helmet proves that lightweight and highly ventilating aren't synonymous with fragility. Despite its claimed weight of 218 grams -- around 45% lighter than most of its competitors -- and 24 capacious Wind Tunnel vents, the Aeon is CPSC certified, so there's no compromising safety for...

The Garmin-Barracuda riders are using them, as well as many other of the peloton's racers. And while it might still be too early to say that we're used to seeing them, the trend among the number of pros who've made the switch is rising. We're talking about those 'odd-looking' round helmets that...

Traditionally, aerodynamic cycling helmets have relied on sloping shapes, minimal venting, and a teardrop tail design to dictate the flow of air in order to overcome aerodynamic drag. However, with Giro's new Air Attack Helmet, its engineers had to rethink the shape of this typical design. The...

Aerodynamic road helmets became something of a trend over the last couple of years, with Giro's Air Attack Shield Helmet leading the way. It doesn't lead from the wind tunnel, though, which is where so many of these helmets get developed and tested. It leads from the velodrome, where the pros...

The Giro Amare II women's helmet looks a lot like the original Amare, and that's because it is, but the big changes made for the sequel are ones you can't see: the introduction of the Thermoformed SL Roll Cage. The SL Roll Cage is the skeleton that gives form to the helmet's EPS liner. It keeps...

Though the cool air ushered through its 19 vents and internal air channels may suggest otherwise, Giro's Ash Helmet isn't designed for racers. Or rather, it isn't designed only for racers. A cursory glance at its profile tells us that the Ash closely resembles either a more ventilated Air Attack...

The evolution of helmets has resulted in some interesting variations over the years, some of which are more far fetching then others. The Giro Aspect Helmet, however, takes an approach that tones down the aggressive vents, slats, and wings that dominate the peloton into a shape that's at home on...
